Limit IACBM parachute-equipped docking port orientations

Concurrent to sumghai/FusTek_StationParts/issues/72, the SDHI IACBM parachute-equipped docking port should also have restricted docking angles for compatibility with the FusTek IACBMs.

The following code does indeed restrict docking orientations, but I may reduce the MinRollDot values to something a bit more tolerant.

    MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleDockingNode
        referenceAttachNode = top
        nodeType = IACBM_125
        snapRotation = true
        snapOffset = 90
        acquireMinRollDot = 0.95
        captureMinRollDot = 0.95
    }

I might also experiment to see if adding convex collider wedges may help better guide docking orientations (like on an old IACBM prototype).

Tweaking the docking port parameters and adding the colliders may end up necessitating a significant rework of the IACBMs, so best to hold this off for the time being.

As per sumghai/FusTek_StationParts#72, the docking port model has been updated to match the new design from the FusTek Station Parts dev builds.

Docking port behaviour, colliders, light emissives and parachute deployment all work as intended.
